Sustainable developement goals
AI-enhanced software for the swift inspection and repair of anomalies in the grid
Visit siteThe need
Transmission system operators (TSO) and distribution system operators (DSO) still rely on slow, labour-intensive foot patrols and helicopter fly-overs that can miss critical defects. This leads to costly unplanned outages, wildfire liability, regulatory penalties and soaring O&M budgets.
The solution
An end-to-end grid analysis analytics platform that can use multiple data inputs (RGB + thermal + LiDAR data + satellite) with an AI-enhanced approach that swiftly flags every mechanical, thermal and vegetation anomaly and prioritises work orders straight into the utility’s existing maintenance software.
The value proposition
- Utilities detect 5-10 × more grid anomalies.
- Fewer outages, lower wildfire and vegetation risks.
- Improvement in resilience of grid and SAIDI/SAIFI.
- Reduced cost in total grid maintenance.
